One of the hallmarks of the rare genetic disorder Prader-Willi syndrome is hyperphagia, an insatiable desire to eat. Households with someone with Prader-Willi syndrome often have to take measures to restrict access to food, such as locking refrigerators, pantries, and trash cans. They must also deal with the complex behavioral challenges associated with the condition. Earlier this year, Soleno Therapeutics won approval for VykatXR, the first FDA-approved therapy for treating hyperphagia. We spoke to Anish Bhatnagar, CEO of Soleno Therapeutics, about Prader-Willi syndrome, its therapy to treat the condition, and the significance of having a medicine that can address hyperphagia associated with the disorder.

À l'occasion de sa revue de presse, jeudi, Paul Arcand revient sur l'histoire d'une jeune femme déficiente intellectuelle qui a passé huit jours en prison pour avoir volé de la nourriture. Âgée de 24 ans, Florence est atteinte du syndrome de Prader-Willi, une maladie génétique rare qui provoque une sensation de faim constante. «Elle vit avec sa mère, mais il arrive un moment où sa mère n'est plus capable de s'en occuper. Elle est aussi accompagnée par les services sociaux. On lui trouve une place dans une ressource intermédiaire. Très rapidement, la personne responsable de cette ressource dit que c'est trop complexe [...] Conclusion: ça ne fonctionne pas et on s'entête à ne pas l'envoyer dans une ressource plus adaptée à ses besoins.» Autres sujets abordés: Mark Carney a annoncé une baisse d'impôt à compter du 1er juillet, mais ne présentera pas son budget avant l'automne; À Montréal, la multiplication des chantiers décourage les restaurateurs; Les mots «pelleteux de nuages», «chill» et «cône orange» sont maintenant dans le Petit Robert.

She shares her journey from infertility through the diagnosis of her 15-month-old daughter, Kenzie, with Prader-Willi syndrome.

Get your seatbelt on. Jenna is a vibrant mama to Josh. She is a badass with very little filter, especially when she talks about her life's #1 passion: fighting for her son's rights and well-being. Jenna has been through so much with her son's disorder, a rare neuro-genetic disorder that occurs in one in 15,000 live births. According to the Angelman Syndrome Foundation, “symptoms and characteristics with other disorders including autism, cerebral palsy and Prader-Willi syndrome. Due to the common characteristics, misdiagnosis occurs often.” Another common symptom, which we talk about in-depth, are seizures. They suck, they're scary, and they are a part of Jenna's reality as Josh's mama. We discuss an alternative form of medication that has changed everything for Josh and his seizures: CBD, a chemical found in marijuana. There's lots to unpack in this episode. Josh is an angel and so is his mom for sharing their story.

Hello Brave Friends! On this story episode we are exploring the vital yet (especially in our community) illusive act of taking a break. Our storyteller is Krysten Leighty whose daughter Lana, was diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome, and found early on that the “go go go” mentality of the medical world was counterintuitive to her instincts, as a mother, to just stop and be present with her child.Krysten Leighty is an artist of many talents, an ambivert, empath, a work in progress human, a partner in love and a wild mama inspired by nature and traveling the world. She is a fierce advocate for her beautiful daughter who just so happens to be rare.JOIN the international community of We Are Brave Together here.Donate to our Retreats and Respite Scholarships here.Donate to keep this podcast going here.Can't get enough of the Brave Together Podcast?Follow our Instagram Page @wearebravetogether or on Facebook.Feel free to contact Jessica Patay via email: jpatay@wearebravetogether.orgIf you have any topic requests or if you would like to share a story, leave us a message here.Please leave a review and rating today!

En la tertulia con Toni Bolaño, Pilar Gómez, Antonio Caño, Marta García Aller y Rubén Amón comentamos la actualidad política. Además, Alsina entrevista a Francisco Javier Ocón, el exsecretario general del PSOE de La Rioja, quien defiende su posición en contra de la ley de amnistía. En la segunda parte, con Begoña Gómez de la Fuente, invitamos a Roberto Leal a charlar con nuestros cómicos Agustín Jiménez, Leo Harlem y Borja Fernández Sedano para presentar 'Casafantasmas'. Después, hablamos del síndrome de Prader-Willi y Santi García Cremades nos plantea un reto matemático. Por último, Josemi nos cuenta su vida.

Lo que diferencia contar una historia y formar parte de ella es el miedo. En este caso es el miedo de las familias y enfermos del síndrome de Prader-Willi a que se cierre de forma definitiva la residencia Mil Diferencias, el primer centro en España especializado en atender a los afectados por esta enfermedad rara. 

DiGeorge syndrome… what a complicated condition for such a little area of a single chromosome being affected. The condition's descriptive and preferred name is 22q11.2. This is called a microdeletion. Along with microduplications, microdeletions are collectively known as copy number variants. Copy number variants can lead to disease when the change in copy number of a dose-sensitive gene or genes disrupts the ability of the gene(s) to function and affects the amount of protein produced. Other examples of microdeletion syndromes include Prader- Willi, (which is a deletion on 15q), and Cri du chat syndrome which results from a microdeletion on 5p. In this episode, we will review the varied penetrance of DiGeorge syndrome and review its genetic basis. What are some suggestive features found on prenatal ultrasound? What are the associated abnormalities/phenotypes? And how is this condition managed after birth? And why is this also known as CATCH22. We will answer all of these questions, and more, in this episode.

Parder-Willi syndrome is a rare, genetic disease that is characterized, in part, by hyperphagia—an intense and insatiable hunger. People with the condition are driven to constantly eat and seek out food. The syndrome is associated with severe obesity and obesity-related mortality. Tonix Pharmaceuticals is developing an experimental oxytocin nasal spray to treat hyperphagia in people with Prader-Willi syndrome. The approach, to date, has shown promise in animal models. We spoke to Seth Lederman, CEO of Tonix, about Prader-Willi syndrome, the unmet need for treatments, and why he believes an oxytocin nasal spray has potential to treat the condition.

Episode 130: Epigenetics in childhood obesitySaakshi and Dr. Arreaza discuss some principles of epigenetics implicated in the development of obesity in children. Written by Saakshi Dulani, MS3, Western University College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific. Edited by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.This topic is constantly expanding, and I'm excited to talk about it. It is a fact that epigenetic changes play a role in the development of certain diseases such as Prader-Willi syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, and various cancers. It has been demonstrated that certain foods can alter gene expression in animals, for example. What is epigenetics?Epigenetics is the regulation of gene expression without a change in the base sequence of DNA. Epigenetics means “on top of” the genes. Genes can be turned “on” or “off” as a response to external influences. Obesity and Epigenetics.The link between genetics and obesity is complex, but it is known that epigenetics plays a significant role in childhood obesity. Surprisingly, exposure to environmental factors starts in the uterus. Fetuses are exposed to intrauterine signals that increase their potential to develop obesity. Factors such as in-utero hyperglycemia, gestational diabetes mellitus, and early childhood diet and lifestyle practices can affect the development of the gut microbiome, modify gene expression through DNA methylation, and increase the risk of childhood obesity. These gene expression changes can be passed on to future generations. DNA methylation is the addition of a methyl group to part of the DNA molecule. That methyl group acts as a “chemical cap,” which prevents gene expression. Another example of epigenetics is histone modification. Histones are proteins that are used by DNA as spools to wrap around pieces of information that are “not needed”. The reason why a scalp cell and a neuron are different is that the expression of certain genes is suppressed while other genes are expressed.Factors that influence obesity.Some factors that increase the risk of childhood obesity through epigenetic changes include neonatal intestinal microbiome, C-section delivery, maternal insulin resistance, exposure to antibiotics and other environmental toxins, early introduction of complementary foods, parental diets high in carbohydrates and low in fruits and vegetables, and poor sleep. There are many other factors, but we will discuss only a few of them.Microbiome:The microbiome is a whole new world that is being explored by many investigators. The gut microbiome refers to the diverse community of organisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, that reside in the human intestine. The neonatal intestinal microbiome is established during the first two years of life and may be influenced by factors such as the method of delivery, maternal obesity, and the maternal gut microbiome. Some bacteria worth mentioning are Bacteroides, Clostridium, and Staphylococcus. These gut bacteria are higher in pregnant women who have obesity, and they also have a low count of Bifidobacterium. Infants born to obese mothers have higher levels of bacteria associated with increased energy harvest compared to infants born to normal-weight mothers. The gut microbiome of infants delivered by C-section is different than infants delivered vaginally.Link to antibiotics:Early exposure to antibiotics is associated with the development of resistance in microorganisms. The intestinal microbiota exposed to antibiotics also shows reduced diversity. Antibiotics can decrease the number of mitochondria and impair their function, which is important in maintaining energy metabolism. Evidence suggests that some antibiotics can cause mutations in the mitochondrial genome, and they have a direct effect on the microbiome and influence metabolism. There is a strong association between early-life antibiotic exposure and childhood adiposity, with a strong dose-response relationship. A stronger association has been seen with exposure to broad-spectrum antibiotics and macrolides. Maternal insulin resistance (IR):Insulin resistance means that the mother needs levels of insulin that are higher than normal to stay normoglycemic. It means the insulin receptors are “exhausted” and do not respond to normal levels of insulin. Insulin does NOT cross the blood-placenta barrier, but glucose and other nutrients do. This causes the fetus to have an abundance of glucose that stimulates the secretion of high levels of insulin by the fetal pancreas to stay normoglycemic. The combination of insulin + glucose is the perfect combination for anabolism, adipocyte hyperplasia, and fetal growth. That explains why mothers with insulin resistance deliver larger babies (macrosomia). Maternal insulin resistance is a predictor of infant weight gain and body fat in the first year of life. This is not influenced by the mother's BMI before pregnancy. Maternal insulin resistance causes alterations in gene regulation for lipids, amino acids, and inflammation, leading to long-term health implications for both the mother and future pregnancies.C-section and obesity:C-section delivery is a saving procedure for many obstetrical emergencies. C-sections have improved the survival of larger infants and their mothers. C-sections are more frequent among populations with obesity and sedentary lifestyles. This method of delivery is also strongly associated with childhood obesity. Among many other reasons, whenever a vaginal delivery is feasible, a vaginal delivery is preferred over a c-section.   In summary, we discussed 4 factors that may influence childhood obesity: the newborn microbiome, exposure to antibiotics, maternal insulin resistance, and C-sections. There are many other factors that we did not talk about, but the more we know about genetics, epigenetics, and metabolism, the closer we get to a better understanding of obesity._____________________Conclusion: Now we conclude our episode number 130, “Epigenetics in childhood obesity.” Saakshi discussed with Dr. Arreaza that the in-utero environment can alter gene expression and increase the risk of obesity in children. Some factors, such as maternal insulin resistance and changes in gut microbiome, can be the cause of obesity in some children. This week we thank Hector Arreaza and Saakshi Dulani.

Clint Hurdle has been involved with professional baseball for a long time. He played in the league for 10 years, where he played for the Kansas City Royals, the Cincinnati Reds, the New York Mets, and the St. Louis Cardinals. And yet, in this conversation, we don't even discuss his playing career. Instead, we focus more on what life was like for him as a manager. Clint was the manager of the Colorado Rockies from 2002-2009, where he helped them go to the World Series, and then he went to the Pittsburgh Pirates, where he helped them go to 3 straight playoff appearances from 2013-2015. He was with the Pirates from 2011-2019. In this conversation, we talk about transitions, and what it was like for him to go from the Rockies to the Pirates. We talk about what it's like to be fired. We talk about divorce and his personal life. We talk about trials and tribulations. All along the way, it will become apparent to you that Clint loves to love. He loves to lead, and he loves to lead with love in mind. He considers himself to be a transformational leader. He builds his managerial process and philosophy around leading with relationships in mind, and it's really at the core of his essence and his being. Clint also is humble enough to talk about some of his imperfections and some of the mistakes that he's made along the way. You're going to find Clint to be authentic, and genuine, to be someone you want to sit down next to and just have a conversation with. At the end of this conversation, I hope you have a better sense of who you are and how you might be able to lead with love going forward.   Clint had a number of incredible insights during our conversation. Some of them include: “There's a time to learn and there's a time to manage” (5:55). “When I got to the park, that's when it was time to learn” (6:50). “Once the game started, I would implore my players to go play. That's why they call it a game” (7:50). “You prioritize before, you prepare before, and once you get to the game, it's time for me to play. It's time for me to step back. Watch. Observe.” (8:15). “I was always infatuated with learning” (10:35). “To hold onto anything purely for the sake of tradition probably isn't the smartest move you can make” (12:10). “Tradition can be a vision killer” (12:20). “Once we've made a tactical error, more often than not we overcorrect” (14:30). “The definition of a coach is to get the player better” (16:00). “When you can let people know that you love them unconditionally, you don't want anything from it, it's not transactional, it's transformational, there's no telling where that relationship can go” (21:05). “How do you earn trust? You show people that you're there for them” (21:30). “There's winning, and there's learning. You only lose when you don't learn” (28:45). “Play with emotion, don't play emotionally” (30:00). “We can't always dictate the circumstances. We always have the opportunity to have ownership of our reactions to the circumstances” (30:20). “There's times when you need to be a thermometer and just report the temperature, and there's times when you need to be a thermostat and set the climate” (32:30). “I establish priorities and I set boundaries” (40:45). “Perception is important” (42:50). “How boring would it be to have ten of me on a staff?” (44:00). “When it all becomes about the ring, it doesn't work well for me” (45:50). “I'm a man of addictions. I have to set boundaries” (50:00). “Other than a dugout, an AA meeting is the most comfortable place I go” (53:05). “Be where your feet are” (55:10). “When you're home, be home” (55:25). “You're never as good as you think you are, you're never as bad as you think you are” (1:00:40).

Episode 59 Debra Daniel and Candice Caffas68 year-old Meadville Pennsylvania resident Debra Daniel was last seen on August 15, 2022. Debra, who was Bipolar, lived in her own apartment at the Holland Towers apartment complex on Market Street. Debra, who didn't drive, frequently visited her mom who had recently been admitted to a nursing home. Despite the nursing home being miles from Debra's apartment, she always found a way to visit her mom whether it meant walking, or hitching a ride. The last time she was seen on August 15, 2022, she was at the nursing home. When her friends and family realized she was missing and came to do a welfare check on Debra, they found her apartment clean and everything in order. The bag that Debra had been seen with at the nursing home the day she vanished was there indicating that she made it home to her apartment after the visit. But there was no sign of Debra, and she hasn't been seen since. In Meadville, a town of 12,000 residents, people going missing isn't common, but Debra's case is not an isolated one. It turns out that on July 15, or 16, 2022, a month before Debra vanished, 34 year old Candice Caffas left her Crawford County home on the 9100 block of Mount Pleasant Road in Union Township, south of Meadville, and she hasn't been seen since. Like Debra, Candice suffered from mental illness; a condition called Prader-Willi syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that results in a number of physical, mental and behavioral problems. It's troubling that 2 vulnerable women vanished a month apart in a small town. But are their cases connected? There have also been unconfirmed rumors that a third woman went missing shortly before Candice vanished, but details are sketchy. If there are indeed 3 missing women from that area over a very short time, it's even more troubling.Debra's and Candice's families are desperate to find out what happened to them.In this episode, Debra's niece Anne Puckett discusses her aunt's case, as well as Candice's.If you have any information about Debra Daniel or Candice Caffas, please call the Meadville Police Dept at 814-332-6911To learn more about Debra's case or help in the search for her, visit her Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/DebrasuedanielYou can also email about Debra's case to:helpusfindher@yahoo.comTo learn more about Candice's case, or help in the search for her, visit her Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/376387407932527orhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/3966452570247621If you'd like to support this podcast via a donation, you can do so through Patreon here-https://www.patreon.com/MissingPodcastTo contact the podcast or learn more about the cases we discuss visit:Missingpersonspodcast.netFollow us on Social media-Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Missing-Persons-Podcast-103501877912153orTwitter:https://twitter.com/Missing_Pod

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder that occurs in approximately one out of every 15,000 births. It affects males and females with equal frequency and affects all races and ethnicities and is recognized as one of the most common genetic causes of life-threatening childhood obesity. To discuss this disorder and what can be done to help people living with it, Jonathan is joined now by Dr. Tony Holland, Professor Emeritus at the University of Cambridge, UK & President of the International Prader-Willi Syndrome Organisation.

(This the third of five re-releases of host Jessica Patay's favorite episodes before we introduce to Season 4.!) Jessica loves this episode because, well, she loves her husband! She is extremely grateful that he has been a dedicated, loving, "hands-on dad" over the 22 years they have raised their kids together. She hopes this will inspire other fathers to have a voice and share their experiences in altered fatherhood.Today on the podcast Jessica and Chris Patay talk about fatherhood, and Chris's journey over the years raising Luke, Kate, and their son, Ryan, who has Prader-Willi syndrome, a rare, genetic disorder. Jessica interviews Chris about the duality of joy and pain in being a father, as well as the vital power of community for dads.JOIN the international community of We Are Brave Together here.Donate to our Retreats and Respite Scholarships here.Donate to keep this podcast going here.Can't get enough of the Brave Together Podcast?Follow our Instagram Page @wearebravetogether or on Facebook.Feel free to contact Jessica Patay via email: jpatay@wearebravetogether.orgIf you have any topic requests or if you would like to share a story, leave us a message here.Please leave a review and rating today!

Naiara Fernández entrevista a María Ángeles Zarza, presidenta de la Asociación Española del Síndrome Prader-Wili, y madre de uno de los afectados.

This week Caitlin and Shelby are joined by Amy and her son, Ethan. Ethan is the 3rd of 4 children. He was born with a condition called Prader-Willi (defined below). Several years later, their family grew by one when they adopted Audrey who also has the condition. And in 2010, the family was on Extreme Home Makeover! Ethan also had a service dog named Cotton. Unfortunately Cotton is no longer with them, but Ethan talks a lot about how Cotton helped him and about the proper etiquette people should have when they see a service dog in public. "Prader-Willi (PRAH-dur VIL-e) syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that results in a number of physical, mental and behavioral problems. A key feature of Prader-Willi syndrome is a constant sense of hunger that usually begins at about 2 years of age" (Mayo Clinic). --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/findinggavinsvoice/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/findinggavinsvoice/support

For a lot of people they think about lunch or dinner just before they are about to eat. But for those who suffer with Prader-Willi syndrome, food is an all consuming aspect in their lives that has to be carefully administered. Ann O'Neill is mother to Oisin who suffers with Prader-Willi syndrome and she joined Sean give a glimpse of what life is like living with this syndrome.

About JessicaJessica Patay is passionate about serving caregiving moms and creating authentic communities. She has always fostered deep, life-giving friendships, and is intentional about growing her community of girlfriends. As a caregiving mom herself, this passion for relationships carries on as she gathers women through We Are Brave Together - to encourage them, mentor them, inspire them, and validate their intense and precious journeys.Her own story as a mom to a child with a disability began in 2003 when her second son, Ryan, was born and diagnosed with a rare, genetic disorder called Prader-Willi syndrome.  Within two days of receiving this diagnosis, she received a phone call from a mentor mom from the Prader-Willi California Foundation. Immediately she felt relief and comfort knowing she was not alone. Thankfully, Ryan is sandwiched in the middle of siblings Luke and Kate, both fierce and loving cheerleaders and helpers to Ryan.If Jessica could show up on every mother's doorstep with flowers, chocolate, wine, a witty-and-wise motherhood manual, and… a gorgeous banner that says, "You are not alone"-- she would.  And you never know, she just might find a way to make that happen! . The heart of the We Are Brave Together organization was born out of this desire to connect, encourage, and support.Jessica Patay fueled WABT's growth into an international community of over 1500 moms. In the last four years, she has helped launch over 20 support groups throughout the United States, New Zealand and in Australia. She is the host of our podcast, “Brave Together with Jessica Patay,” found on Apple, iTunes, Spotify, Amazon and Stitcher.
